| coral reef |
Many
coral reefs have already been destroyed because of global warming and things
aren’t looking too good for the surviving ones. Carbon dioxide is absorbed by
ocean water just like it is absorbed in fizzy drinks, making it more acidic and
rendering corals unable to calcify their skeletons.
Marine
specialists say corals and the species that inhabit them could be extinct by
2050 if a practical solution to global warming isn’t found really soon.

Glacier National Park
Glacier national park |
Glacier
National Park in Montana, USA is in danger of losing all its glaciers by 2030
scientist predict. Some of the park’s glaciers have melted to less than half
their original size while other, smaller ones have melted completely.
Just
so you can better understand how serious the problem is, you should know that
in 1850 there were 150 glaciers in Glacier National Park, only 35 exist today.

| Alaska |
Global
warming is leaving its mark on the frozen lands of Alaska and tourists from all
around the world are gathering there to watch it at work. Glaciers are
crumbling into the water, the tundra is melting and the wildlife is trying to
adjust to all the changes. Alaska is a preview of what’s going to happen soon
if we don’t start taking things more seriously.
Polar
bears are now an endangered species because they simply can’t cope with the
climate changes, they’re simply not built to withstand such an increase in
temperature. Food is harder to come-by and the melting ice caps cause them to
drown.
